The invention relates to a paperhangers table attachment and moreespecially to a wall paper roll hanger and cutter attachment for pastetables.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of an attachment ofthis character, wherein the same is adapted for arrangement at one endof a paperhangers paste table for supporting a roll of wall paper sothat the paper can. be conveniently unwound from the roll thereof andlaid across the top of the table for the application of paste theretoand thereafter the cutting of such paper into the desired length andthus assuring the convenient handling of the same.

Another object of the invention is the provision of an attachment ofthis character, which is extremely simple. in its construction, readilyand easily handled for association with a paste table used bypaperhangers, reliable and efficient in operation, and inexpensive tomanufacture.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in thefeatures of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as willbe hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing, which discloses the preferred embodiment of the invention andpointed out in the claim hereunto appended.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is an elevation of the attachment constructed in accordancewith the invention.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary front elevation of a paste table showing theattachment in vertical section on the line 2--2 of Figure 1 looking inthe direction of the arrows and arranged associated with said table.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout theseveral-views in the drawing.

Referring to the drawing in detail, A designates generally a portion ofa paste table for use by paperhangers in applying paste to Wall paperand B a roll of wall paper while C is the attachment constituting thepresent invention and hereinafter fully described.

The attachment comprises a stand in the form of a rack and involves abase 5 from which rise spaced uprights 6 and 6 carrying at their upperends a stationary cutter blade I which is horizontally disposed and atan elevation so that its uppermost face will be in the same plane orflush with the upper face of the top 8 of the table A.

The foremost upright 6' next to the blade I is provided with an inset 9while pivoted to the innermost end at Ill is the innermost end of amovable cutter blade II which at its outermost end is provided with ahand grip l2 extended forwardly beyond the front end of the blade 1while upstanding from the said blade "I is a combined guide and rest I3for the movable blade II which coacts with the said blade I for the.severing or cutting of the paper when unwound from the roll B into thedesired length for the pasting of the paper on a wall in accordance withthe size thereof.

The uprights 6 and 6' are fitted with horizontally arranged journalingpegs M which are spaced from each other the required distance andarranged opposite to one another so that the roll B can be journaledthereon and rotatably held between the uprights 6 and 6' to allow oftheunwinding of the paper and the training of the same upwardly and overthe blade I and the top 8 of the table A in. proper fashion for theapplication of paste to such paper when resting upon the top of the saidtable. The movable blade II is normally at rest upon the guide Hi to beelevated the required distance from the blade 1 for the free passage ofthe paper between these blades and the training of a determined lengthof such paper over the top 8 of the table A. When a determined length ofpaper has been pulled from the roll B and trained in a manner as beforestated such paper can be cut by the lowering of the movable knife. IIand its coaction with the blade 1, the paste being applied to the paperin the usual well-known manner when supported by the table A. The inset9 in the upright 6' affords a clearance for an operator to handle thepaper when unwound from the roll B for the training thereof over theblade I and onto the. top 8 of the table A.

The blade I of the cutter involving the movable blade II is made fast tothe uprights 6 and 6' by brackets IS. The attachment is held in closerelation to one end of the table A and fixed thereto by a suitableattaching device l6 although it may be independent of the table andsupported next thereto from a foundation or floor supporting said table.

What is claimed is:

An attachment for a paperhangers table having a top comprising a basestrip, uprights fixed to and rising vertically from said strip, an.inset in one of the uprights at the upper portion thereof, pegs fittingsaid uprights and constituting opposed journals for wall paper rolls, astationary cutting blade fixed to the upper ends of said uprights andoverhanging the inset portion of one of the same, a movable bladeconnected with the stationary blade and operating vertically forcooperative cutting action therebetween, and an attaching bracket fixedto the stationary blade at the connection of the movable blade therewithfor separable attachment with the table top for the holding of saidblades in juxtaposition to the top with the lower stationary bladesubstantially flush with the said top.
